Notes on getting violently ill on the sidewalk as a result of dehydration possibly combined with mild food poisoning:
- People are understanding about it, and even kind. This might vary a little depending on the neighborhood, but there's not as much harsh judgment as you might fear.
- You feel really good afterwards. Or just good, but good is better than usual. As forms of euphoria go, relief after nausea that's just definitively passed is up there.
- Still wouldn't recommend doing it more than a couple of times a year. Save up. Treat yourself.

I don't mind knowing but not ever having experienced such a thing myself I think I'd be trying to find out why it had happened to begin with in order to make sure it didn't happen again. Dehydration in November is a little unusual unless one was overdressed or in a close environment.
It's always good to know that people are kind and understanding; the general public often gets an undeserved bad reputation.
There are circumstances that led up to it. Not really interesting enough to go into. You're right that there's something to look into if it happens again. I don't expect it will, though, and will take steps to make sure it doesn't.
Making assumptions about people either way is probably a mistake, I think. But I'm always glad to be pleasantly surprised.
